Bike World cost would be    25 + 8t    where t= time i hours

Canoe Shack cost               10 + 14t                                

 

Assuming the deposit is part of the cost (it is not returned) find when the two costs are =

 

25+8t = 10 + 14t    and solve for t

15 = 6t

t= 2.5 hours

 

 

 

IF the deposit is RETURNED when the bikes are returned , the costs will NEVER be the same.
